Letters Patent No. 98,492, dated Janua/ry 4, 1870,

IMPROVEMENT IN RESIN-HOLDERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame,

To whom it may concern:

Be itknown'that I, Jonas HARDING, of. the city of Detroit, in the countyof Wayne, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and improved Modeof Securing or Holding Lines of teams while standing, to prevent themfrom moving forward, or the lines from getting down under foot. Adescription of the invention is as follows:

In the drawing Figure l is a perspective view, as it appears on the dashor end-hoard with the lines'attached.

Figure 2 is the face-plate, of suitable size, D-shaped,

or otherwise, in its circumference, witha concave face,

thereby guiding the movements of the slide-bar up and down. Saidslide-bar is corrugated upon the inner side.

The movement is as follows:

.The slide-bar, resting at the bottom of the slot, stands out from theface-plate sufficiently to receive the lines, which come back from theteam over the dash. or. end-board, thence under or between the slidebarand faceplate. Now, by moving said bar upward, it nears the face-plate,until said lines are rendered immovable by a forward draught ormovement, and thereby made secure. I

Figure 4 is an end view of slide-bar and its members.

' Figure 5 is the under or inner side of the slide-bar, which iscolrugated. f

Figure 6 is an end view of the fastener, as it appears-on the dash orend-board.

Having fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-

A line-fastener, made of any suitable material, and consisting of theconcave face-plate B and corrugated slide-bar A, with its projectionsand bearings, substantially as herein shown and described.
